Verse 3.54.30

स्वकर्मधर्मे ह्रसति हसत्यायुर्नृणामिह ।
वृद्धे वृद्धिमुपायाति सममेव भवेत्समे ॥ ३० ॥

svakarmadharme hrasati hasatyāyurnṛṇāmiha |
vṛddhe vṛddhimupāyāti samameva bhavetsame || 30 ||

Falling short of one's duties lessens his life, as his excelling in them lengthens its duration; but the mediocrity of his conduct keeps it within its proper bound.
